I played the demo on Xbox360 many years ago and recently played this PC version and was blown away at how well it has aged. The storytelling and voice acting kept me interested and the gameplay makes sense. It has good replay value and is one of the best Tom Clancy series games ever made. I think I had to do something to get it to run smoothly, can't remember what it was.
This second installment in the series lags in the following areas: 1. Hit detection: You will be baffled at the many misses you will make, even point blank 2. The story: The story is confusing and seems to be a nod to MKULTRA stories which is fine but the delivery is ALL over the place. You feel NO connection to the characters. I found myself feeling a little weird wondering if I was being subject to subliminal messages and just wanted to finish the game. 3. Weapons: You unlock certain weapons and items to be used in a second playthrough but during the first it just feels like they are teasing the player instead of adding to the experience. I ended up using melee weapons most of the game because of the lack of ammo. 4. Level Design: It just felt like there were no chances to use the most incredible weapons, double uzis. There were solid wall hallways with enemies behind them so you just end up wasting all the ammo straight on. Things I liked: The jungle levels, the Miama Boss levels especially the drug part. Some of the music is fun. I just felt like the first game was an overall better experience. Get it on sale.
